Xia Yan watched with a smile as Xia Ke went to change into his regular clothes and came out. After cleaning his hands and face again, he sat on the chair and asked, "My daughter has already taken back the glazed tiles, does my father want to watch it while the sun is still good?" ”

Xia Ke nodded again and again: "Take it up, wait until the lights are lit at night, it's not beautiful." ”

Mrs. Jiang was surprised when she listened: "What kind of dumb riddle are you father and daughter playing?" What's the deal with glazed tiles? Did Yan Qing buy it back? ”

She also knows the glazed tiles, although there are two words for glaze, but Mrs. Jiang has never regarded the glazed tiles and the glazed ornaments and glazed jewelry made by her daughter as the same variety.

Xia Yanqing first instructed Xinxiu to let people bring things in, and then said to Mrs. Jiang quite proudly: "I didn't buy it, I made it myself in our glass workshop." Just wait and see, it's beautiful. ”

"Glazed tiles?" Mrs. Jiang was surprised, "How did you think of doing this?" ”

In her impression, the things made by her daughter are rare things that are not in this world.

Glazed tiles are not rare.

"Earn money." Xia Yanqing answered as it should be.

"Glazed tiles are also ...... Is it profitable? Mrs. Jiang almost asked if glazed tiles could also make money.

If this is asked, what are those people who have been operating glazed tiles for so many years doing?

Fortunately, she stopped in time and successfully made a remedy. Otherwise, she is the kind of person who relies on her daughter to do rare business, arrogant and shallow.

"Well, it depends on what standard you are measuring against. You think, glass is making money, right? Mrs. Jiang nodded, and Xia Yanqing continued, "How many pieces of glass are used to build a room?" How many tiles will be used? ”

"That's ......" Mrs. Jiang said, this really can't be compared. To build a yard, a lot of glass is used, but in terms of quantity, there is absolutely no way to compare with bricks and tiles, which is not a concept at all.

As he spoke, the guards who followed Xia Yanqing carried the three rattan boxes in.

The three rattan boxes are not large, and there are more than 20 tiles in total, some of which are successful and some of which are defective.

The guards put their things down and saluted and withdrew.

Xia Yanqing personally stepped forward and opened the rattan box, and Xia Ke had already come up.

Xia Yanqing looked at the rattan box that he had opened, and said to Xia Ke: "This box is the last selected glazed tile product. ”

After speaking, she went to open the other two, and said: "These are tiles from the other six formulas, and the things are good, but the quality of the glazed tiles is a bit cost-effective compared with the price." Therefore, it is only an experimental product, only for reference and reference, and the practicability is not strong. ”

Xia Yanqing pulled out four pieces of what she thought were finished glazed tiles, which were dark gold, dark red, turquoise and lake blue.

"Referring to the existing glazed tile colors on the market, our workshop only made these four colors." Xia Yanqing explained.

Xia Ke heard Xia Yanqing describe her glazed tiles, and knew early that this glazed tiles tended to be more glazed; Tile, that is, the shape is the same, other aspects of quality, the two compartments are far apart.

So he was mentally prepared, first picked up a piece of green glazed tile, looked at it carefully, and his face was even calm.

But Mrs. Jiang is different, it is the first time she has seen her, and it is also the first time she knows that Xia Yanqing plans to make glazed tiles.

Although Xia Yanqing also said hello just now, saying that her glazed tiles are beautiful. But when she actually saw the real thing, she was still surprised.

Even a few maids and women in the room gasped together.

In contrast, Xinxiu and Xinrong are much calmer, they have seen the world and are not moved at all.

That's true. Not to mention that it's just glazed tiles, they have even seen and used clairvoyance. Looking at the Great Liang Dynasty, counting all the dignitaries and dignitaries, how many of them have such knowledge?

Mrs. Jiang was taken aback and asked, "This, this is Liuli, right?" Yan Qing, your glazed tiles are so exquisite, who can have so much silver to cover the roof with this kind of tiles? ”

How much does this tile cost? That's the money that put it on the roof, right?

In a word, Xia Yanqing was extremely embarrassed. She seems to have seen how many years later, when various benevolent and righteous people mentioned that in the Qingyuan period, there was a businessman named Xia Yanqing, regardless of the suffering of the people, he made a number of luxurious items, and made the Liang Dynasty famous......

You can't blame her for this, it's not her initiative at all, right?

Besides, if the matter is man-made, whether it is extravagant or not, it depends on the emperor's intentions, and it also depends on the results caused by this extravagance.

She picked up a piece of lake blue glazed tiles and showed it to Mrs. Jiang, "Mother, look, this is glass, but it is indeed a tile, but it is not as delicate as a glass ornament and can be enjoyed by others." The quality of glazed tiles is far from that of glazed ornaments, and the price naturally cannot be compared. ”

The glazed tiles are originally building materials, and they are brought out of the sample library when they are packed, without being carefully wiped.

Mrs. Jiang didn't dislike that there was still dust on it, so she took it from Xia Yanqing's hand and looked at it carefully over and over again.

While looking at it, he nodded and said to himself: "It's not much the same as the glass ornaments, much rougher, and the degree of delicacy is far worse." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Xia Yanqing again: "But this is indeed glaze, much more exquisite than the glazed tiles used by those big clans." How much do you have a glazed tile? Can large families afford it? ”

"If you can afford it," Xia Yanqing nodded again and again, "We only do business so that they can afford it, if every family can't afford it, why are we doing this?" ”

The workmanship of these glazed tiles is relatively rough and opaque, but only from the perspective of the appearance of gloss and density, there is no doubt that they are proper glaze.

The glazed tiles selected by Xia Yanqing, compared with the glazed tiles fired by several other formulas, are the inferior in terms of quality density and gloss and smoothness.

However, this density and smoothness of the surface must be extremely shiny if it is embedded in the roof or the cornices of the door bucket. If supplemented by sunlight, the absolute brilliance is brilliant and shining.

The glazed tiles made by other formulas are, of course, of better quality, and very bizarre. But if it is used to build a house, it is really wasteful, and the cost is really too high.

Xia Ke had said before that the experiments she made, the successful and unsuccessful ones were brought back to see.

Therefore, in these three rattan boxes, in addition to the finished glazed tiles, there are also some defective products, some of which have large bubbles on the surface, pits, deformed, cracked, and even unformed, and each has a few pieces.

Xia Ke looked at all these glazed tiles one by one before wiping his hands and sitting back in his chair.

In his heart, he was sighing at the power of young people, from the time he talked to his daughter, it has only been a long time since his daughter has made so many preparations.

Sure enough, he was old.
